To remain in business in the Sunflower State, Uber would have to follow certain regulations, including mandatory background checks for drivers and a requirement that drivers purchase auto insurance coverage beyond the $1 million Uber offers.

The Associated Press reported the company had been operating in Kansas City and Wichita, with plans to expand to four other communities after Brownback’s original veto of the bill in April.

Since Uber launched in 2009, government agencies worldwide have tried to restrict, or block, the ride-sharing service and competitors, like Lyft and Sidecar. In the United States — Eugene, Oregon and the state of Nevada have successfully banned Uber from servicing customers.

Other states, including California, Illinois and Virginia, have laws in place that regulate ride sharing much like a traditional taxi cab service. Ride-share legislation is also pending in nearly three dozen other states, according to The Wichita Eagle.
